Well, except language changes based on how it's used and most people consider cows to be any members of domestic cattle.
Like how the average person thinks they're "peacocks" not peafowl. Or how some people consider chicken and fish to not be "meat" but also we have the "meat" of a nut.
Maybe I've looked at too many comics about Wittgenstein. I'm a dirty descriptivist.
